    logo_lettereditorBy now you have received the publicity pamphlet for the New Community Plan.  I urge you not to rely on this pamphlet for your sole source of information in helping you decide your vote.  I recommend you take the time to read through the Plan and come to your own conclusions.  (You probably read about mine in the pamphlet.)  You’ll have to read in between the lines to fathom the true effects of the Plan, because it is written to appeal to universal themes, upon which we can agree, but which would actually be made moot by the application on the Plan.  Study the plan and decide for yourself.  I beg you to take the time to do so.  It’s important to see through the hype and banalities, if you want to preserve our small-town character and the fiscal solvency of the city.  The fact that we are called a city is an indication of where the powers that be want to take us.  So please do some thorough analysis and critical thinking about the Plan in order to make an informed vote.

      The “NEW COMMUNITY PLAN” provides for the TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS.

      A look at the “FUTURE LAND USE MAP” reveals 12 “Community Focus Areas (CFAs)” and approximately the same number of “Planned Areas.” Properties in the “Planned Area” designations are subject to “Rezonings consistent with Community Plan.”–Priority #1. The Rezonings for Consistency Partners are: “City Attorney, Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council.”

      As a matter of fact, property owners in the “Planned Areas” received a vague “Land Use Change Notification” letter from Mike Raber, City of Sedona Community Development, allegedly last-minute. Protests were not listened to by the City Council.

      VOTE “NO” and ensure protection of private property rights and property values.


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
